Thailand vol 8

Another day for you and me in the Paradise!
Ready for the day? Yeeeah, as happy as always!
"Skippy' s wonderland" was Sofia' s favourite activity after swimming.

Enjoying the sunset.

Sofia and her lantern.

Dad  wrote a message and the lantern is ready to be sent up to the sky...

...and there it goes. May all the wishes come true!



Thailand vol 7

Thailand...time and place for pampering & relaxing...
 
 Sofia had an haircut. For some reason the staff straightened her hair after the haircut. It took approx 40 mins to straighten her hair. Afterwards Sofia looked at the mirror and said: "it' s not me!"  This was a very good opportunity as Sofia says sometimes that " I don' t like my curls" so now she knows how she would look like without them.
We love you and yous curls Fia <3

 Time for some foot massage! Sofia' s very first massage. We booked 1 hour foot massage for both girls :) This is the beginning of the massage and...

this is after 20 mins...zzzz

Sofia wanted to draw a message to her daycare friends.

Ross- the snail

Grandpa- Ross is walking around slowly with his walking sticks and Sofia has been very accepting but one evening Sofia said to Grandma while walking back to the hotel room:
"Look at Grandpa. Grandpa is slow like a.... SNAIL!"  :D

Dream came true!



''äiti, mä oon koko elämäni haaveillu tästä!''  
"Mä kiipeen sit Thaimaassa palmuun ja tiputtelen sieltä sitten kookospähkinoitä kaikkien päähän niinku pox pox"


The dream came true, the dream she has "all her life"* been dreaming of.

"Mom, I have been dreaming of this all my life, dreaming of picking coconuts from the palm tree and then I drop them to everyone' s head like pop - pop :) "

Sofia: "Ei ku sä oisit poika ja mä oisin tyttö."

Kaloilla on jalat...

Meillä on vauva monneja akvaariossa ja annettiin kaloille ruokaa ja monnit innolla liikkuivat pohjalla.
Sofia totesi vauva monnista, että:

"Kato nyt totakin ressukkaa. Sil on niin pienet jalat raukalla." 

Sofian mielestä kaloilla jotka eivät "ui" vaan menevät vaan pohjaa pitkin on jalat :)

Sofia- kookospuun apina

"Äiti, sit ku me ollaan siel Thaimaassa niin mä vaan kiipeilen palmuihin ja tiputtelen sieltä kookospähkinöitä, eka yksitellen ja sitten monta kerralla.
Sen jälkeen mä halkasen ne näin (Sofia näyttää kuinka pähkinä avataan kopsauttaa polven päällä) ja sit se aukee ja mä annan kaikille juotavax sitä maitoo. Sit mä kiipeen uudestaan sinne palmuun. Ihan joka päivä kiipeilen... ja ihan ylös saakka." 

Taitaa olla likka valmis lomalle. Joka ilta pitää muutama kyynel tirauttaa kun joka ilta tuntuu olevan liian monta yötä vielä nukuttavana... Täältä tullaan Thaimaa.

*   *   *

"Mom, when we are in Thailand, I'll be climbing up to those palm trees and drop coconuts down. Then I pop them open (easily of course, just by gently hitting then to her knee) and then I give the milk for everyone to drink. Then I climb again. Everyday I'll do it.

Sofia is so exited for the trip, every night she has a little cry as there seems to be far too many nights still left. She is ready for a holiday :)

Thailand, here we come, only 5 more days.

Sofian suusta vol 6

Tänä aamuna Sofia heräsi innoissaan ja ilmoitti,  että 

"Äiti,  enää 8 yötä ennenkuin menemme Thailandiin.
Thailandissa saa uida aamusta iltaan." 
(Thaimaa = Thaimaaseen / eng. Thailand = to Thailand / Sofian suusta Thailandiin)

Sitten Sofia haki kesällä saamansa viuhkan, avasi sen ja tuuletteli kasvojaan ja tokaisi:
"Kato äiti, kun tän viuhkan avaa niin tän takana voi vaikka pojan kanssa pussailla" 

*   *   *

Sofia is getting exited of the trip to Thailand. She opened her Chinese fan and said: 
"Mom, look at this. You can open this Chinese fan and kiss a boy behind it"
